Load Fund. What is a 'Load Fund'. A load fund is a mutual fund that comes with a sales charge or commission. The fund investor pays the load, which goes to compensate a sales intermediary, such as a broker, financial planner or investment advisor, for his time and expertise in selecting an appropriate fund for the investor.
When levels of glycogen in the liver are very low, such as when you are fasting or on a low-carbohydrate diet, the liver uses alternative sources to produce and release more glucose into the bloodstream. Through a process called gluconeogenesis, the liver can create glucose from amino acids, the building blocks of protein and fat byproducts.
Once glucose is inside the liver, glucose is phosphorylated into glucose-6-phosphate, or G6P. G6P is further metabolized into triglycerides, fatty acids, glycogen or energy. Glycogen is the form in which the body stores glucose. The liver can only store about 100 g of glucose in the form of glycogen.
